Free Music Review: Simply beautiful and melodious......
Hit: 5 Stars
If you've ever wondered what the angels sound like when they sing as a chorus (or as a trio, in this case), The Wailin' Jennys are for you. This gorgeous 2004 release features the blended voices of Cara Luft, Nicky Mehta and Ruth Moody. Their sound is at once ethereal and blissful. The album kicks off with "One Voice," a beautiful piece that showcases their three part harmony at its best. "Saucy Sailor" is part sea chanty and part folk melody. Their subject matter ranges from love to pondering the afterlife. This album veers so far from mainstream subjects and mundane melodies, so often heard on the radio. It is a breath of fresh air and we are so blessed to hear such beauty.
40 Days Poster
The Wailin' Jennys--Cara Luft, Nicky Mehta, and Ruth Moody--are three Canadian singer-songwriters with already established careers who first got together for a one-shot gig in 2002 and, to their surprise, discovered that their voices blended in an almost magical harmony. They decided to put their solo endeavors aside for a while to see where this gift would take them, and the appealing folk-pop vibe of 40 Days is the result. They perform an eclectic selection of material, including covers of John Hiatt's "Take It Down" and Neil Young's "Old Man" plus lovely versions of the old English folk songs "The Parting Glass" and "Saucy Sailor." However, it's the original songs that stand out most. As you would expect, each Jenny has a distinctive voice and writing style, but the amazing vocal harmonies help Luft's spiky, rock-inflected songs, Mehta's poetic and mysterious meditations, and Moody's lively Celtic-tinged melodies blend into a seamless whole. --Michael John Simmons"40 Days" represents the exciting US debut of Ruth Moody, Nicky Mehta and Cara Luft...three young Canadian performers whose harmonies and songwriting have been called "spine-tingling," "angelic," and "breathtaking." The group was formed more-or-less as a lark...all three Winnipeg women were established solo artists and admired in Canadian folk circles for their singing and gifted songwriting...and the so-called "supergroup" was meant to last for one night only at a local folk club. As fate would have it, the audience went crazy for them performing in that configuration and a Canadian folk phenomenon was born. With their stirring voices and richly emotional original songs, the Jennys have created one of the most memorable and tantalizing first albums in a long time.
